Dong Hyun Kim runs roughshod over Dominic Waters in UFC Fight Night 79 co-main

Poor Dominic Waters learned an important lesson on Saturday: Do not clinch with Dong Hyun Kim.

Facing "Stun Gun" on short notice, Waters made the mistake of clinching up with Kim, and was quickly - and violently - tossed to the mat for his troubles. From there, Kim almost immediately trapped Waters in a crucifix and started raining down punches and elbows while "Sho Nuff" desperately tried to work his way free.

After what felt like a hundred short punches and elbows, referee Leon Roberts stepped in to save a trapped Waters when it became painfully clear he couldn't escape Kim's clutches.

With the manic South Korean crowd becoming unglued, a triumphant Kim called out Brazilian grappling ace Demian Maia, who he previously lost to at UFC 148 in 2012 after suffering a freak rib injury.
